The Friend We Call "Mom"
Huffington Post

Aside from our biological mother, it’s safe to say that we all have that one friend that at some point or another, is labeled as “Mom.” Whether it’s being the responsible one, or simply consoling others, us children appreciate you as a third parent. Here are a list of thanks owed to you and every thing you do.

1.Listening to our problems and giving us advice

Sometimes, we all just need to vent and the Mom is a perfect listener. Thank you for always knowing the right thing to say exactly when I need to hear it.

2.The Cold hard truth

And for those times when we need someone to listen, thank you for always giving your honest opinion whether it’s what we want to hear or not.

3.Being there for a crisis, big or small.

In the midst of a freak out ranging from deciding what shoes to wear before going out, or figuring out what I want to do with my life, thank you for simply being there to guide me in the right direction. Sometimes all it takes is for your opinion on a situation and the day is saved.

4.Putting the wellbeing of others before yourself and making sure we don’t do anything stupid.

Thanks for enforcing the “make good decisions” line that my actual parents encourage. Always being the responsible one may get tiring, but if it wasn’t for you looking out for everyone else’s safety… out of poor decisions would come poor consequences, for you to deal with as well.

5.Being Protective

Thank you for being sometimes even over protective, whether it’s making sure I get home safe, texting you when I get where I say I'm going, or always looking out for my well being. If I have a problem with someone, you most likely do too and won’t allow anyone to hurt my feelings.

6.Supporting us in everything we do

Thank you for getting just as excited if not more about all of my accomplishments whether it’s a good test grade, playing in a sports game, or even choosing a college. Your constant support and encouragement means more than you realize.

7.Dropping everything for others and being the most loyal friend out there.

No matter what time day or night, I know you would do anything to be there in a second. Thank you for being you and always looking out for me!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
